I'm 4 hours late I just seen the news on 1 angry gamer good find though.

As indeed the news has open a new can of worms how will IFI response to this the normal response should be they won't release it there then as IFI did say they won't release any games that have to be censored.

Let play the devil advocate & IFI do two versions of the game 1 censored the other isn't that would put NISA in deep do-do as NISA often says they can't do two versions because of cost & time.

Hmm interesting.

Edit: we shall wait & see the outcome as IFI also said they not a big team the same with NISA we shall see what will happen.

It's good to see IFi isn't altering the US or EU releases. It's also good to see that this is based off of an official decision from the Austrailian ratings board, as opposed to unofficial/deniable backdoor talks conducted prior to an official rating--The fact that you guys tried to get the game rated properly instead of acting preemptively goes a long way.

On another note, please don't let this affect what you guys choose to localize for the American and European markets in the future. The idea of releasing a game in all parts of the west instead of just certain parts may sound appealing, but the US, EU, and Austrailia should be treated as three separate regions independent of one another. A decision to localize a game in one region shouldn't hinge on whether it can be released in another region.

Luckily, from the sounds of all the FB comments, any Australian players are used to this kind of thing and just import a lot of games from NA/EU anyways. Saw tons of comments along the lines of "yep, this again, stupid gov. Guess I'll just get it shipped over from overseas." Surprisingly chill about it. So while it means there's not gonna be any new players brought in by it, anyone who wanted it is probably getting it regardless.

I only just found out and I'm absolutely livid. This pustule of a ratings' board once again proves detrimental to the domestic gaming industry.On the plus side, you can import over here from other countries? I was sure that games refused classification were restricted imports as well. I thought I'd not be able to play the game.

Edit: They are restricted imports and can be seized by customs upon discovery. I don't know if there's a fine or just a seizure of goods. Might try getting it through a US PSN.
